Elizabeth Holmes documentary You Can See Everything debuts with huge $15m opening weekend

Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim’s buzzy film was shown on only 855 screens in the biggest documentary opening in North America since Fahrenheit 9/11 in 2004

Nathan Fielder’s nearly three-hour Elizabeth Holmes documentary, You Can See Everything, has opened to an extraordinary $15m domestic box office, the biggest opening weekend for a documentary in North America in more than 20 years.

You Can See Everything, directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, made $15m (A$21.5m, £11.2m) from only 855 screens, and had more than 2,000 sold-out screenings at the weekend, according to the production company A24. It is the biggest opening for a film playing on fewer than 1,000 screens since Borat opened to $26.5m in 2006.

Vliegtuig uit Tel Aviv omgeleid wegens bommelding

SOFIA (ANP/AFP) - Een toestel van Austrian Airlines dat onderweg was van Tel Aviv naar Wenen, is zondag uitgeweken naar de Bulgaarse hoofdstad Sofia. Bemanningsleden besloten in Sofia te landen nadat ze een bommelding hadden ontvangen toen het vliegtuig Roemenië naderde, aldus het Bulgaarse ministerie van Transport.

De Bulgaarse luchtmacht stuurde, conform de geldende procedures, een gevechtsvliegtuig om het passagiersvliegtuig te begeleiden, aldus het ministerie. De 51 passagiers en zes bemanningsleden werden na landing geëvacueerd.

Het Bulgaarse ministerie meldt dat een onderzoek naar het incident in volle gang is.


Zeker 19 personen in kritieke toestand na brand op basis Canada

WAINWRIGHT (ANP/RTR) - Bij de dodelijke brand op een militaire basis in de Canadese provincie Alberta zijn bijna veertig mensen gewond geraakt. Zeker negentien van hen verkeren in kritieke toestand, meldt de staatspremier van Alberta, Danielle Smith, zondag. Eerder was al bekendgemaakt dat vier militairen zijn omgekomen bij de brand.

Zaterdag brak tijdens een training brand uit op een grasveld van Canadian Forces Base Wainwright. Vanwege de harde wind verspreidde het vuur zich razendsnel. Canadese media spraken eerder van een 'muur van vlammen' die daarbij ontstond. Tijdens het persmoment zondag zei generaal-majoor Rutland volgens omroep CBC dat het vuur zich in een tijd van "30 tot 60 seconden" een kilometer verplaatste.

Rutland erkende dat omwonenden explosies hebben gehoord tijdens de brand. Uit eerste onderzoek blijkt volgens hem dat er geen schade is aan de olie- en gasinfrastructuur op de basis. Ook wordt niet uitgegaan van inmenging van buitenaf. Er is een groot onderzoek gaande naar de oorzaak van de brand.


Greenpeace: meer actie nodig om oceanen te beschermen

AMSTERDAM (ANP) - Landen moeten meer doen en beter samenwerken om kwetsbare ecosystemen in internationale wateren te beschermen. Dat stelt Greenpeace op de dag dat in de Armeense hoofdstad Jerevan een VN-biodiversiteitstop begint.

Begin dit jaar is een VN-verdrag in werking getreden waarin is afgesproken dat in 2030 zeker 30 procent van de oceanen moet worden beschermd. Het gaat om de zogeheten volle zee, ofwel de internationale wateren die niet bij het territorium van een staat horen. Een soortgelijke afspraak is gemaakt op een eerdere biodiversiteitstop, toen landen overeenkwamen in 2030 ten minste 30 procent van al het land en water op aarde te beschermen.

Volgens Greenpeace is het essentieel dat landen snel handelen om het doel van 30 procent te bereiken. Op dit moment heeft bijna 10 procent van de oceanen een beschermde status. Zo'n 3,5 procent geldt als "volledig" of "sterk" beschermd. Het gaat om honderden gebieden verspreid over de oceanen.

Greenpeace stelt dat de bestaande en voorgestelde beschermde gebieden weliswaar een belangrijke basis vormen, maar niet genoeg zijn. De milieuorganisatie pleit voor een netwerk van met elkaar verbonden zeereservaten, met aandacht voor bijvoorbeeld stromingen en migratieroutes van dieren. "Meer dan achthonderd mariene soorten migreren door de nationale wateren en de volle zee", staat in een rapport van Greenpeace. "Hun overleving hangt af van hun veiligheid gedurende hun gehele migratieroute, niet alleen op afzonderlijke voedsel- of broedgebieden."

De milieuorganisatie vraagt onder meer aandacht voor bultruggen en lederschildpadden, die lange migratieroutes afleggen en kwetsbaar zijn voor industriële activiteiten als visserij en scheepvaart. Volgens Greenpeace valt een groot deel van hun leefgebied momenteel buiten de beschermde zones. De organisatie stelt elf nieuwe zones voor die een beschermde status zouden moeten krijgen, met name in de Atlantische Oceaan, waarin migrerende diersoorten nu het meeste risico zouden lopen.

Hierdoor zou daar een netwerk van beschermde reservaten ontstaan dat overheden helpt om de wereldwijde doelstellingen voor oceaanbescherming te halen, zegt Lukas Meus van Greenpeace. "Als ze dat niet doen, zijn er straks geen dieren meer om te beschermen." Meus roept deelnemers aan de biodiversiteitstop in Jerevan op om met gedurfde oplossingen te komen.

Time Lords kill leap seconds, before they become the new Y2K bug

The Time Lords at the General Conference on Weights and Measures (GCPM)* have decided to stop introducing leap seconds, citing the likelihood they could cause problems with internet of things devices – and therefore a Y2K scale remediation effort – as a reason for the change. As The Register reported last week, the GCPM works to harmonize Universal Time – UT1, which boffins calculate using the changing speed of Earth’s rotation – and the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) standard that humans use to set time. We big-brained hominids can set standards but can’t do much about the fact that the speed of Earth’s rotation is variable. When our planet’s spin slows, the GCPM adds leap seconds so that UT1 and UTC are in synch. In recent years, they have even pondered a negative leap second because Earth’s rotation has sped up a little. Like all good standards orgs, the GCPM conducts years-long debates about its work. The topic of leap seconds has very much been on the agenda in recent years, as they’re increasingly hard to implement now that humanity relies on billions of devices that can usefully share the same timing data but may not easily account for leap seconds. The matter came to a head at last week’s 28th meeting of the GCPM, at which Time Lords voted to end use of leap seconds. The possibility of a negative leap second seems to have been a major factor. “A negative leap second has not previously been applied, and it is considered to pose a high risk of causing anomalies and disruption to critical infrastructures that are largely unprepared,” the Time Lords wrote in a resolution posted after their vote. “The preparation would create, for the industries that rely on time synchronization, a need for financial investment, whose amount is estimated to be similar to their preparations for the millennium bug.” Readers may recall that in the late 1990s, the world spent billions of dollars remediating software that, due to sensible-at-the-time memory-saving measures from the early years of business computing, couldn’t comfortably handle dates after December 31, 1999. Historians now cite the global cost of Y2K remediation at $300-$600 billion. It's widely thought that money was not well-spent. The GCPM also worries about connected devices. The growing influence of IoT (Internet of Things) technologies, dispersed multi-sensor systems, smart grids, and virtual services for contemporary society, creates an increasing risk of malfunction in operation of systems and services with the insertion of any leap second, especially with a negative one,” they wrote. Another concern raised in the resolution is: “The use of different mitigation methods for leap second introductions by global service providers in their server systems, in order to avoid time steps, leads to inconsistency in timing between different systems and in the disseminated time and frequency, which do not conform to the SI unit [the standard second].” The world is home to myriad manufacturers of IoT devices, but fewer standards on how they should behave. Some manufacturers therefore build shabbily insecure devices that ship with vulnerable software that allow them to be subverted with malware, or without facilities that allow easy updates. Billions of devices could therefore fail to implement a leap second. That would become a problem because digital certificates include a notbefore value – a time before which the cert won’t be accepted. Many systems that see a misbehaving cert would reject it. It’s therefore conceivable that if a major ISP’s modems could not accommodate a leap second, the extra sliver of time’s introduction could see the carrier’s network decide its own customers are not trustworthy enough to connect. Scenarios like that rather suggest Time Lords have taken a sensibly long view regarding the perhaps-inevitable fallibility of software developers. The GCPM's replacement for leap seconds is to allow UT1 and UTC to diverge by up to 3,600 seconds under a scheme called "Continuous UTC" that comes into force next year. Humanity has lots of practice adding and removing hours thanks to Daylight Saving time, which some want to sunset. ® * The organisation’s formal name is the Conférence générale des poids et mesures, which yields the acronym GCPM

Researchers Discover How To Lead Dying Coral Reefs To a 'Fast And Full Recovery'

Gizmodo reports:



Roughly 84.4% of the world's coral reefs suffered bleaching-levels of heat stress during the last major marine heat wave from January 2023 to September 2025, with over half already lost compared to coral coverage in the 1950s... But there's some good news, thanks to a new study published this Wednesday in the journal Science Advances: Marine ecologists at Stanford have discovered that bleached corals can be revived via contact with a healthy coral neighbor, who (like a good neighbor) shares their photosynthetic, symbiotic algae (Symbiodiniaceae) with their peers.

"This incredible new result — that fast and full recovery is possible in bleached coral — can inspire solutions that eventually may be scalable," [Fiorenza Micheli, a marine ecologist with Stanford's Center for Ocean Solutions and study co-author, told the journal Nature]... Unlike their controls, bleached coral in contact with healthy coral recovered in just eight weeks... [T]he surprise discovery of this method alongside the other techniques that marine conservationists are now actively pursuing — including the successful deep-freezing and revival of at-risk coral sampled from Hawaii — could offer threatened reefs the lifeline they need. Coral contact could super-charge other efforts, like the selective breeding of heat-tolerant corals and the cultivation of protected coral nurseries

When the "out" part of "better out than in" never occurs

Guzzling an Avalanche Amber Ale on a globally-heated day is satisfying. Equally satisfying is ripping a belch powerful enough to set off car alarms, afterwards. Imagine never experiencing such. This is the reality for those suffering from "no burp syndrome" or retrograde cricopharyngeus dysfunction (RCPD). This rare condition has very little awareness, even among doctors. Here's a guide for no-burpers and curious onlookers. And here is one woman's story.
